Edzna

Edzná was a major Maya city in a valley of western Yucatán. Its builders raised monumental temples and palaces, including the great five-storey building overlooking the central plaza. They also reshaped a flood-prone landscape with canals, reservoirs and cisterns that captured and distributed rainwater. The city’s architecture combined traditions from several parts of the Maya world, including the fine stonework and decorated friezes of the Puuc style.
